Coffee Bars
Vietnam is a country where coffee is an integral part of the culture and is enjoyed differently in each region. People in Da Nang and the rest of central Vietnam prefer their coffee quite strong. In contrast to the south, where coffee is served in a tall glass filled with small cubes of ice, central Vietnamese typically drink their coffee in a small cup with one large block of ice, which melts as slowly as the coffee drips through its metal filter, giving them time to converse with friends, coworkers, or whoever may be sitting nearby.
There are various types of coffee shops in Da Nang, ranging from street-side cà phê cóc to upscale establishments. If you’re looking for a spot to relax and surf the web, the vast majority offer Wi-Fi today.
Cà phê cóc (Frog coffee)
Walking down any street in Da Nang, you will undoubtedly encounter a group of Vietnamese men squatting on tiny plastic stools and sipping cups of coffee while conversing with one another. This is cà phê cóc (literally, “frog coffee” due to the way clients crouch to drink), a modest yet popular manner to have coffee in Da Nang and throughout Vietnam.
- Long Coffee, 123 Le Loi (Corner of Le Loi and Quang Trung St). Extremely popular cà phê cóc-style coffee business in Da Nang that serves and sells its own brand of coffee despite, according to some, not being the greatest. It is constantly crowded, noisy, and smokey, but it is part of the ambiance. Go there with a local friend to have a quintessential Vietnamese experience while chatting.
Mid-class coffee
There are middle-class stores everywhere; the drinks are reasonably priced and they serve as a place to unwind or gather with friends. These establishments are typically more comfortable than cà phê cóc and sell a variety of non-alcoholic beverages in addition to coffee, such as tea, smoothies, and fruit juices.
